Course 17 -Adult Siblings and Family Conflict – Healing Old Wounds, Creating Understanding and Rebuilding Sibling Relationships

Sibling relationships are often some of the longest relationships people experience.

They begin in childhood but continue evolving throughout adulthood.

While siblings may share:

• Family history.
• Childhood memories.
• Parents.
• Traditions.
• Life experiences.

They may also carry:

• Different memories of childhood.
• Different experiences within the same family.
• Different expectations.
• Old wounds.
• Unresolved conflicts.
• Different beliefs about responsibility.

Adult sibling conflict can develop around many issues, including:

• Jealousy.
• Comparison.
• Parenting differences.
• Caregiving responsibilities.
• Family businesses.
• Inheritance.
• Favouritism.
• Old childhood roles.
• Feeling unsupported.
• Feeling misunderstood.

The aim of this course is designed to help siblings and family members understand these challenges, communicate more effectively and create healthier relationships.

The goal is not to force closeness.

The goal is to create:

• Understanding.
• Respect.
• Emotional maturity.
• Healthier boundaries.
• More peaceful family relationships.

I believe we all deserve to live in healthy, happy relationships.
